Thousand-Faced Dragon

Chapter 95 Dragon Flame
The silver light of the trial was already shining, while the opponent before them was a sea of ​​crimson.

The holy sword, once again wielded, shimmered with silver light and faint flames. The radiance of a paladin is inherently a power of both light and fire, perfectly gathered in Rean's hands.

"Destroy evil."

Unlike in the past, this time Rean felt a slight weakness after swinging his sword with all his might.

Without unlimited holy power, Rean's Evil Slash had to be changed from a basic attack to a powerful special move.

"Boom!"

But even as the sword was still swinging in the air, the faint sound of thunder could be heard in the air.

His opponents could even faintly hear a booming sound like a dragon's roar.

In his rage, Rean poured overflowing dragon flames into his sword to ensure its power!

The stubborn gray dwarf warrior stepped forward with his shield, his Vajra Shield and heavy armor giving him confidence that he could withstand the great warrior's slash!

If you give your companions just a little time, a squad of poison arrows and shadow spells will kill the knight blocking your way!
"call out."

When the sword and shield clashed, both sides showed surprised expressions.

“The feel is off.” Rean frowned; he didn’t feel any force feedback.

"Something's not right. I didn't feel any impact." The gray dwarf warrior was shocked. His opponent didn't seem weak. How could he be so powerless?

Of course not, because the expected collision between the sword and shield did not occur!
"Wow!"

The sword, its blade glowing crimson, was sliced ​​in two with the utmost smoothness, as if cut by a silver knife cutting butter, right before the incredulous eyes of onlookers!

A scorching hot blade mark, still hot enough to distort the air, is still burning in the atmosphere—the trace of the sword's passage.

The shield and armor that blocked the mark have become scrap metal.

That stubborn dwarf warrior, already separated from his family, died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

"How is this possible!" The captain, a dark elf, couldn't believe it. His squad's warrior had been killed with a single strike?
The formidable enemy before them was reality; the holy sword remained in the knight's hand, faintly radiating light and flame.

Those raging dragon-like eyes were firmly locked onto the underground team.

"Kolchi!" the dwarf doctor, who was on good terms with the warrior, screamed, completely bewildered by what had happened.

The gray dwarf craftsmen's equipment was no worse than that of the shield dwarves, so why were their shields shattered and their armor destroyed in a single encounter?

Why is it that the dwarf, known for his tenacious vitality, was completely cut in two by a single sword strike, and now his remains are burning?

What kind of knight is that?! A red dragon knight?!
The dark elf opponent tried to communicate, but Rean never bothered to waste words with villains.

Having finished his deep breath and regained his composure, Rean raised the Holy Sword once more, and this time, the light and flames on it blazed even brighter!

“It’s evil!”

"Let's go, let's go!"

The formidable dark elf captain gritted his teeth and stepped forward himself.

He knew his team was in trouble this time; they had encountered a monster. At least he needed to get rid of the people who weren't needed.

But was his interception meaningful? His opponent never followed the usual path.

He only saw the young knight in front of him suddenly speak to him, uttering a sound that was incomprehensible to him.

"ELDER (The Fire of the Furnace)!"

In the next instant, everything before my eyes turned into flames.

"Boom!"

The arsonist was met with a fiery calamity; a ring of flames descended from the sky, instantly melting the flesh and blood of the villain before him.

Escape? Not a single one of you will escape!
"Buzz!" The flames emanating from the true dragon seemed to be bound within that narrow world ring, and it emitted a second and third secondary explosion.

The instantaneous high temperature and vacuum created a furnace within the circular area, incinerating everything inside.

The entire squad, from the healer to the spellcaster, and even the thief who had forced his way into the shadows, was swallowed up by the flames and refined together.

The earth turned to scorched earth, and the battlefield seemed to have been struck by the breath of a red dragon, with the shadowy figures of those who were once corpses imprinted on the scorched earth.

Rean took a deep breath and felt weak again. His opponent was nowhere to be found, not even a charred corpse; only a fine weapon and protective gear remained, struggling to stay afloat in the dying flames.

It seems they'll save themselves the trouble of having to be remade.

Rean's gaze swept over the surrounding fire-lit area, where there seemed to be even more attackers and villains.

"Phew, that took a lot of energy." Although the battle was short and the victory was relatively easy, Rean will probably need some time to recover before he can fight again.

This time, no heroic spirits will pay the price. Kuku's heroic spirits can improve basic attributes, but they cannot provide magic power like the Paladin's Oath cheats. Every bit of power Rean uses belongs to himself.

However, the person most surprised by how easily a squad was destroyed was actually Rean himself.

The opponent was no weakling; Rean could even sense that the leader of the opposing force was at least a third-tier silver-level being.

Rean naturally went all out when he attacked. He underestimated the power of Dragon Flame and Evil-Slaying Slash, and even more so the remnants of Sul's soul.

[Heart Soul. Sul's Wallbreaker (Original Stone): Your sword is invincible!]

The full force of the first sword strike was almost a waste. Those arcane knights had trained to a high level, that is, they had added elemental power of the "trick" level to their swords and had become true magic knights. One plus one is far greater than three.

Rean, on the other hand, used the Evil-Slaying Slash + Wallbreaker (Armor Breaker) + Sul Sword Technique + Dragon Flame (True Dragon Enhancement). In particular, he completely disregarded the limits and added the full power of Dragon Flame. This all-out Evil-Slaying Dragon Sword should have been enjoyed by a true great warrior, not by this unfortunate second- or third-tier alien.

Long Yan, who followed, clearly overexerted himself, using all his magic power.

By unleashing their full power, they naturally fell into a brief period of weakness. If at this time...
"Ah!"

Suddenly, an unlucky assassin was shot out of the shadows and rolled on the ground in pain.

Judging from the position where he was knocked out, it seems he was planning to backstab Rean, the weakened knight.
"How can there be such a strong aura of the sacred flame?"

The Holy Flame Aura is the Paladin's most useless aura ability, as its output efficiency is too low. However, for "catching thieves," the Holy Flame, which automatically attacks, often has a surprising effect.

Going all out also has its advantages; at least in peacetime, activating the Holy Flame Aura during battles can actually catch thieves.

What the Shadow Assassin couldn't understand was why the Holy Fire was so powerful. He was mentally prepared to be stabbed in the back by the flames, but he was instead scalded by the Holy Fire and rolled on the ground.

The unquenchable dragon flames burned silently on the assassin's body, and his attempts to extinguish them by rolling around were fruitless.

But the next moment, he didn't need to think about it anymore.

As the shadows enveloped him, he instinctively looked up and saw the figure of a knight wielding a flaming sword right in front of him.

Those dark, vertical dragon eyes, still radiating a captivating brilliance under the moonlight, revealed everything.

"Dragon"—that was his last message before his head was severed from his body.

This time, at least Rean left behind a body that could be pieced together.

Leaning against his sword, Rean, panting heavily to catch his breath, realized that without his Infinite Holy Power, he was indeed less able to endure prolonged battles than before.

He must adjust his output intensity. If he continues to treat the output required by an opponent of the "Holy Mother" level as his normal sword-wielding intensity, he will probably fall before his opponent.

But that's enough for now.

The Holy Flame Aura failed to find the next target, so Rean turned his attention to another warehouse, from which the sounds of battle and roars could be faintly heard.

Rean had already guessed what these alien races were planning: they wanted to destroy the entire warehouse district and granaries.
"We absolutely cannot let them succeed, otherwise the number of people who die will be a hundred times, a thousand times more than tonight."
-
Talia met Rean at a police station in the South Gate district.

She didn't rest last night either. Having received the notification not long ago, she rushed over from another district and entered the district police station as the dawn broke.

She never expected that she would have to go to the police station to pick up Li En so soon.

"He seems to be in good condition."

Seeing Rean eating noodles amidst a pile of desks, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, you're here." Rean greeted him with interest, then continued eating his noodles.

He had been killing people all night and was truly exhausted.

These dark elves and grey dwarves have probably been lying in wait for a long time. Suddenly, many groups of them have arrived and are causing chaos everywhere. Rean can't kill them all.

This time, there was no misunderstanding that Rean was detained. Instead, he was here to give a statement about what happened last night and to ask him to help guard the large number of alien prisoners.

Rean's efforts throughout the night paid off; he had killed at least four squads of more than twenty attackers, however...
"At least half of the warehouse area is gone, and a large amount of food and supplies are lost. I'm afraid this city will have to endure some hardship for a while."
